It's a great day when my Mom serves up this Southern specialty! Cooked grits are combined with seasonings, cheese, and eggs, then baked. The eggs are the secret to light fluffy grits that melt in your mouth! You may adjust or eliminate the hot sauce to suit your taste.

Even the name of this dish makes your mouth water. But we love polenta, and so will you after tasting the colorful vegetables that are first cooked in olive oil and then spooned over garlicky slices of pan fried polenta. Heaven, when it emerges from the oven.

My entire family loves this recipe. A quick baked polenta topped with red sauce. Very easy to make and great the next day too (and the day after that!) Top with additional Parmesan cheese if you like.

Cornmeal is transformed in the all-so-versatile polenta when it's boiled and then chilled. Parmesan cheese gives this polenta a nice, subtle cheese flavor.
